Mods

It's often possible to improve the sound of a guitar amp by
modding it, even though the amp isn't technically broken.
Here are a few of the ways we may be able to make your amp
sound the way you want it to sound.

Increase gain

Increase clean headroom

Tone down piercing highs

Add a Master Volume

The best candidates for modding are vintage amps that don't
employ printed circuit board construction.
Obscure vintage amps can often be transformed into completely
different beasts.
For example, it's fairly easy to turn a Traynor YBA-1 bass amp
into a dead-on clone of a Marshall JTM-45 or a Fender Bassman.

Even amps with printed circuit board construction can be modded
to a surprising degree.

feasible for your amp.
